Fyi from Swan Noir
Hi All,
A quick post to let you know about a *great* book. When I am not reading books, teaching, and building workshops about etiquette and civility, I like to pick up one of my favorite inspirational books called "when GOD winks" by SQuire Rushnell. This small book is about what some people call coincidences.
Mr. Rushnell likes to call them GOD winks, which he defines as: a personal siganl or message directly from GOD. Think for a minute about the word coincidence. The root of the word coincidence is co~in~cide. To coincide means to correspond or agree "exactly", so why do people dismiss coincidences as 'matter of fact' if the root of the word means something quite different? (that was a rhetorical question)
Pick up the book and be inspired and uplifted, great for the nightstand.
Enjoy!
